Unless you have different struts, you will be massacerd by the pops and clanks, and hops, I am running tokiko's and I still have that problem, but handling is great, it doesnt really bother me that much except when i have other passengers and they start to b**** about it, I will probably try to pick up a set of Ksports in the next month, so i will be selling my setup if you are interested. Oh and I am dropped like 2.75-3 inches.
Thats funny. You tell me theyre bumpy then you try to sell me them. haha. j/k. Ive always liked skunk2 products and I wanted to get some lowering springs from them but they dont make them. bastards. Thanks for the help bro. I guess I will look around some more. maybe Ill go with eibaich sportlines.

i have them, ther good i think, but johndg is right thers alot of popping when turning at low speeds (like turning into a parking place) i made some spacers that goes between the spring and the perch and the noise is all but gone now.. the ride is good as its going to get and they perform well.. a friend has teins on his msp and they ride better but they also have shocks with thers but my skunk2s seem to be stiffer,, better for auto-x etc...
e-mail me and ill tell how to make those spacers and want type of plastic to buy, or for a small fee i can make and ship some to you.. oh and ill post some pics of my car here in just a sec, i got to scan them first.. shes as low as you can go in the rear on factory shocks, its a little bouncy at times but over all good bang for the buck, i got mine off of e-bay for like $220 shipped new in the box....

Unless you like bouncing around, or feeling every pebble in the road, don't waste your money. Go ahead and get the eibachs, you will not be dissapointed.

the eibachs are a great set up.. though they are a little to soft for me.. if you dont auto-x, dont want to be real low, and you just cruise alot with some spirted driving, they would be the best overall choice. but if coilovers is the need than skunk2s are the best for the $400 and under range, well along with the ground countrols which are like $450 and like i said i got mine for $220.. oh and if you dont lower the car that much than you wount have much bounce.. a little more than the eibachs due to the higher spring rates.. my car in the winter set up rides fine with very little bounce..
